Hey everyone! I've been considering opening up portrait commissions for a while, but I wasn't exactly sure when I should make it a thing. I figured I should probably open them up now due to some pretty big events happening in my life (nothing bad though, don't worry~). My main motivator for wanting to open them up now is actually my church's next mission trip. This summer we're going to be traveling to San Francisco, which I'm really excited about! I started giving my life to Jesus a year ago, and since then I feel like I've been able to learn and grow so much in living out the Word. In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus gives a command to his disciples to "Go...and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." And that even applies to those of us who believe and follow him today! Even thinking back to the last mission trip to Miami, getting to go on mission has allowed me to really step out of my bubble in sharing with the spiritually lost all that Jesus has done for us, and connecting with God and His family! The main problem for me right now though is that this trip's gonna cost over double what Miami was,, I'm not very far along in my finances for this trip, but any help would be appreciated! My regular commissions will also be open, but feel free to share and spread the word (prayers are more than welcome too~).
